Luke 1: 39 - 56
39In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,40and she entered the house of Zechari'ah and greeted Elizabeth.41And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit42and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!43And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.45And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."46And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,48for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;49for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.50And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.51He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,52he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree;53he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever."56And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.
